She is a far more talented woman than most "Yanks" really know.

She was trained as a "mechanic" during WWII and repaired/maintained military equipment.

She was home schooled

She likes dogs and horses

She also owns more guns than any of us.

Is a mean shot

Can hunt for her own food

I watched about an hour of it just to see what all the hype was all about.

Amazing, astonishing, remarkable!  I can't remember all the adjectives used by the reporters.

I thought the highlight was the boat turning around in the river.

I have four of these, how many does she have?

Well played, sir.

I don't really have any animosity towards the royals. They're flesh and blood people and for the most part seem to be upstanding examples.

BUT, they're still lucky sperm. Fawning over these people is really no different to me than fawning over the Hollywood stars.
